Additional block for the "For the youth" series, with native reptiles. Design: pro concept, Cologne. Such stamps with a surcharge have been issued for almost sixty years in favor of the German Youth Brand Foundation. The proceeds are used to support a variety of projects for children and young people. The European pond turtle is the only species of turtle that occurs or occurred naturally in almost all of Central Europe. In Germany, it is still present in remnants in Brandenburg and Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania and is one of the species threatened with extinction. However, there are now various initiatives to stop this trend.
